Community Integrity

 Who We Are

The purpose of the Community Integrity Department is to protect and enhance the quality of life for the residents, business owners, visitors, and other stakeholders of the Town of Little Elm. We do this through the enforcement of property maintenance and zoning ordinances. These local laws and regulations, adopted by the Little Elm Town Council, protect the public health, safety, and welfare and serve as community standards. 
 
 Compliance with these standards helps to:

• reduce vandalism
• deter crime
• maintain property values
• prevent deterioration of neighborhoods

These codes benefit everyone by making our town a better place to live, work, and play.

Potential violations are discovered through systematic, proactive inspections, citizen complaints, and referrals from other agencies or departments. Once a violation is identified, the responsible party is issued a notice providing reasonable time to correct the issue. Periodic follow-up inspections may be conducted to determine if compliance has been met. If compliance has not been achieved, additional time may be provided depending on the circumstances and severity of the violation.

A great deal of emphasis is placed on obtaining voluntary compliance. However, if a responsible party fails or refuses comply city codes voluntarily, then a citation may be issued. The citation may be civil or criminal, depending on the circumstances. 

Thank you for doing your part in helping make Little Elm a great place to live, work, and play!
